hej,

When someone enters example XML in an anser like:
<Binary>0E02800001000000000000000B0004C003010000000000000000000000082D0000000000000000004EFF140000000000FFFFFFFF0600000058000000000000000000061208000010000000003C0000000000000000000000803A011480FAFFFF0000000000000000B09B741280FAFFFF0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000</Binary>

There are no more line breaks and the sidebar seems to go over the content area.

or within the code tag:

<Binary>0E02800001000000000000000B0004C003010000000000000000000000082D0000000000000000004EFF140000000000FFFFFFFF0600000058000000000000000000061208000010000000003C0000000000000000000000803A011480FAFFFF0000000000000000B09B741280FAFFFF0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000</Binary>

it alters somehow the html structure of the page.
Can I somehow fix that?

I’m using bbPress Version 2.5.4 on WordPress 3.9.1

Thanks in advance,

Normal WordPress posts allow to set an image as featured image so that when i share that post on social networks that featured image will show as post image.
How can i do similar thing with bbpress topics? There is no option to set featured image in new topic.
I want featured image only in post meta and not in post itself, so that it will appear only when a post is shared on Facebook etc.

Fix is here if you’d like to manually change the current version (works for me):

Found the trac ticket for this error:

Looks like the fix is going into the bbpress 2.6 release.

Hi,

I’m currently using Luminescent light theme.
Is there a way to have some sort of highlight or a different colour to “quote” text of my bbpress forums?

WP: 3.9.1
BBpress: 2.5.4
http://www.smartistas.com

Thanks,

[Leonyipa]

I put

function ntwb_bbp_theme_before_topic_form_notices() {
?>
<div class=”bbp-template-notice”>
<p>Something here…</p>
<p>Something else…</p>
</div>
<?php

}
add_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_topic_form_notices’, ‘ntwb_bbp_theme_before_topic_form_notices’ );

but then it says:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare ntwb_bbp_theme_before_topic_form_notices() (previously declared in /home/gleam/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/functions.php:634) in /home/gleam/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/functions.php on line 628

How to set a maximum size(width and height) for signatures,
so user will not put oversized and very long images into their signature?

[Leonyipa]

Is there any Spoiler BBCode plugins available for BBPress?

[Robin W]

to your functions file see

Functions files and child themes – explained !

[Robin W]

for no. 2

add

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-title h3, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-title h3, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-title h3, #bbpress-forums a.bbp-forum-title, #bbpress-forums a.bbp-topic-permalink {
  color: #666 !important;
  font-size: 16px !important;
}

to your style.css

Quickest way in your child theme remove the nickname form the form-user-edit.php template.

[Mike]

Currently in the edit user profile section of our bbPress (we deny access to the dashboard), users have a choice between displaying their username or actual name elements. They also have the option to write in a nickname and display that instead.

Is there any way to remove the nickname portion so that users can only display their username or actual name? Our concern is that users may abuse this ability to constantly change what name is displaying for them and it will be hard for us to police if necessary.

Thanks for the amazing plugin!

Hi, I have a question about forum migration. I need to migrate a Drupal 6 forum into BBPress. I see Drupal 7 migration is supported http://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/. I have some questions:

Can this migration be easily done from Drupal 6?
Can I pay a BBPress professional to do it?

[Robin W]

in the meantime, you can move it in your style.css

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[Robin W]

Yes,

If you have a forum page ie a wordpress page that has [bbp-forum-index] in it, (ie you’ve use method 2 rather than method 1 in this link

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

then go into edit on your forum page

Switch to text from visual and put

Create a new topic before the [bbp-forum-index] to get it at the top or after it to put it at the bottom.

or you could use

[bbp-topic-form] after the [bbp-forum-index]

or

[bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id] to display a single forum topic form.

Lots of possibilities.

If you don’t have a set wordpress forum page, then you can create one, see method 2 in the link above

[Stephen Edgar]

Do you have any static pages set in Dashboard -> Settings -> Reading (/wp-admin/options-reading.php), if you have a page here for the ‘Home’ and it has long text as it’s title that can cause the issue you see.

I am pretty sure you need to create a bbPress template for your theme, make a copy of page.php and rename it bbpress.php.

It looks like there are some similar questions in the theme support forums but I cannot see the answers as I am not a registered owner of the theme.

This has been updated for the next release of bbPress, it is floated right to the same way topic favorite and subscribe links are.

[Stephen Edgar]

Just add the bbPress plugin to your WordPress install would be my tip 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

There is two parts to this:

1. The ‘moderator’ role cannot be currently set to only disable moving topics to another forum currently, to change this though a couple of tweaks to the form-topic.php template would achieve this end result.

2. There is also a bug where moderators can move a topic to a group forum that they are not a member of that we are looking into in #2639

[Stephen Edgar]

Thanks extra sets of eyes with all of this ‘import’ stuff is always handy, boat loads of data all just starts to look the same after a while 😉

Indeed, ‘Reset Forums’ will remove everything bbPress, as long as you also check the ‘Delete Imported Users’ they will also be removed.

The wp_bbp_converter_translator is not explicitly required, if your site can create this table bbPress uses it as part of the import process, if not it will just use the ‘out of the box’ WordPress database tables. It also gets deleted when resetting the forums. It also relates to the bugs I found yesterday that I am working on fixing and as I stated above I am pretty sure your imports are not using wp_bbp_converter_translator as if you were you wouldn’t have had any stickies.

As to redirects you shouldn’t need that table for those, depending on your old phpBB permalinks
some simple right up to some advanced .htaccess will get you what you want.

A week or so back whilst messing about with splitting and merging topics I happened upon a WordPress feature for 301 redirection of old URL’s to new URL’s. I am yet to try this as it has only popped into my head as I wrote the previous paragraph that this may be something that could work so that imported topics and replies include full redirect support.

So much so I just gave it a whirl, if I store and old topic slug e.g. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9 I can query on the fly that topics new post ID and 301 redirect to it’s new permalink e.g. phpbb-v3-standard-topic 😉

It still doesn’t quite work though due to some URL weirdness presumably with one or a combination of the .php, ? and & characters, I am quite sure we can do something here though 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

No need for multiple topics within minutes of each other and the same topic, closing this one.

[LeafyGrove]

Using bbpress 2.5.4 and the subscribe text is bunched up against the last option (current forum) in the forum breadcrumb trail. While functionally not a problem it does go towards making the forum and site look unprofessional, so I was wondering is there anyway to fix this?

[LeafyGrove]

Nvm I found a explaination while digging around another support thread. But just in case someone stumbles here looking for the answer I’ll share.

“go into dashboard>forums>all forums and then edit for the forum you want. Now go look at the url address bar at the top of your browser and it will look like

http://www.mysite.com/post.php?post=2922&action=edit

so 2922 would be the forum number” – Robin W (Moderator)

[LeafyGrove]

I was wondering where can I find the forum ID’s? Trying to use the single forum shortcode, but dunno where the ID’s are. (Wish they were listed in Forum > All Forums via a ID column).

I was able to locate bbp_single_user_details_avatar_size in bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php which eventually lead me to the following function that accomplishes what I needed (resizing the avatar):

function my_bbp_change_avatar_size($author_avatar, $topic_id, $size) {
    $author_avatar = '';
    if ($size == 14) {
        $size = 24;
    }
    if ($size == 80) {
        $size = 110;
    }
    $topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id( $topic_id );
    if ( !empty( $topic_id ) ) {
        if ( !bbp_is_topic_anonymous( $topic_id ) ) {
            $author_avatar = get_avatar( bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id ), $size );
        } else {
            $author_avatar = get_avatar( get_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_anonymous_email', true ), $size );
        }
    }
    return $author_avatar;
}

/* Add priority (default=10) and number of arguments */
add_filter('bbp_get_topic_author_avatar', 'my_bbp_change_avatar_size', 20, 3);
add_filter('bbp_get_reply_author_avatar', 'my_bbp_change_avatar_size', 20, 3);
add_filter('bbp_get_current_user_avatar', 'my_bbp_change_avatar_size', 20, 3);
